Hi Group, This could be very helpful to all of us.

Love, Peggy

Subject: Fw: Phone Solutions - Great Info !!!

1) Emergency

Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of

the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial

112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the

emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed

even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

2) Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.

Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the

spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your

cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have

the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile

phone on their end. Your car will unlock. It saves someone from having to

drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of

miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your

car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). This really works! ! We tried

it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!

3) Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#

Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50%

increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell

next time.

4) How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on

your phone: * # 0 6 #. A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This

number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

If your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them

this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief

changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't

get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't

use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in

people stealing mobile phones.

5) Cell Phone Charges

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411

information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a

telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of

a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial:

(800) FREE 411, or without incurring any charge at all.

Program this into your cell phone now.
